We have so many choices when it comes to our virtual homes -- and that's a wonderful thing. Some of us want cozy, some grand palaces, some rustic, some posh. The variety is seemingly endless.

If you are somewhere in that middle ground of slightly rustic, classic but not too fancy, roomy but not wandering around trying to figure out just what floor you are on --- then the new Trompe Loeil Gillian Cottage may be just what you are looking for.

54 land impact, one tall ceiling room, lots of great details; find it at Uber.

The Gillian Schoolhouse Bench, also from Trompe Loeil comes in white or wood and has a large texture change menu for both pillow and quilt.

The Stories&Co. Lisbeth Tee comes with a choice of huds including one with sayings and art. What is notable about this tee is that it is VERY lived in. Rips and tears and holes adorn the casual and loose (somewhat stretched out as favorite clothes can get after a few years) it is definitely a favorite. Find it at No21.

Stories&Co. typically have a FLAT version (yes in caps) of their garments. I have tried them on before but not sure that I have mentioned that. Today I decided to go with that FLAT version, simply so I could tell you about it. Great for preteen avatars as well as for those wanting to blur the lines between the sexes.

Whether it is Halloween, All Hallows Eve, Samhain or Day of the Dead -- it's almost the season; time to get your decorations together, whatever form they may take.From Cheeky Pea, Samhuinn Tree and Samhuinn Road Marker at Uber, part of a big Samhuinn set.

The first rule of feng shui is "eliminate clutter". I follow that edict faithfully in our corporeal world -- but in virtual land? I love clutter. It makes the environment more realistic. And, there is NO DUSTING.

From fame femme at Tres Chic the Rita Sweater which can pass as a dress for bravish gals. Lots of colors of course.

From ChiC buildings at Lost and Found the Storage Unit Clutter Set. Individual items can be purchased.

From [Z O O M] -- Acinonyx Glasses with an extensive color hud. Lots of fun. Also at Tres Chic.

Two new releases pair nicely for that cozy feel of Autumn -- even amidst the high rise jungle.

The collaborative duo of Shutter Field and Decor Junction offer three versions of this country bench. Find it at Tres Chic.

The Four Season Cherry Trees from Little Branch are delicate and lifelike with a lovely choice of textures (this is summer). The default size is fairly large and 7 land impact. The ones shown here are 5. Mix them up for a feeling of the change of seasons. Find them at On9.

For me, Fall is described in warm neutrals -- taupe and rust, russet and clay all come together for Autumn's palette.

From Petite Mort, the Boho scarf with HUD in a variety of sizes as well as fitmesh and Slink. Find it at Tres Chicwhere you can also pick up this cute and casual slightly messy hairdo from Amacci.

If you love comfy fabrics and enough room to move around in, then the new Urban top and pants from MEVA are perfect. Both top and pants come in a variety of colors and textures for our colder months. You can find these at Shiny Shabby. The pants come with a very cute optional belt for when you are showing a bit more skin. Maitreya only.

It's time to start thinking about our Fall wardrobe -- for those of us at the top of the map anyway.

This new release from Legal Insanity for Tres Chic is lots of fun for us casual gals. Plenty of color choices by hud and you can transparent out the long sleeve if you like. Look for the Emma sweater with shirt. The booth is near the landing point.

This is already in my outfits folder AND it even starred in a short video (need to keep up those skillsets).

Not only is this outfit beautifully made, it is also weighted exceptionally well. And we know how important that is when we are taking photos -- or even dancing the night away.

A single glove is available for those bold enough to make a fashion statement! And if you need some new polish for your mesh hands, Nanika has you covered with two lovely nail appliers -- also at Tres Chic.

A long but fruitful and problem free day at an end (that's SO nice to say), I plunked myself down on a build in progress to let you in on some new releases.

Find the aptly named Chair of Imagination at The Liaison Collaborative. Coordinating items are available. Lots of fun! Look for the 22769 ~ [bauwerk] booth.

There are so many great retro hair styles appearing I feel like I need to find a back in time roleplay area to join! This * SANDRA * style from .:EMO-tions:. at Tres Chic (opens the 17th) is a beauty. So very classic; so very classy.

A new pose prop is on the scene. The ::WetCat:: "Kissing Tree" (18 LI) is a eye-catching 9 meter triple trunk plant filled with a large variety of couples poses, some which work quite well for singles. Romantic or friendly they are well thought out and work for avatars of many sizes. Find the tree at the Book of Daniel fundraiser. As a bonus, the tree is seasonally enhanced with a texture change menu with seven choices.

If you are tired of jeans or single colored slacks, make a statement in the new {MYNX}
Mermaid Leggings. A variety of colors to choose from, the pack comes with many
mesh body sizes as well as standard sizing. Head on over to The Black Dot Project and find your favorite hues.

Perfect for Fall weather, sweaters, jackets and bundling up, no.match NO JOKE pairs cap with sassy short hair for a fun look. A small texture change menu is included for the cap. Find the unisex "do" at On9.

It's pretty easy for me to pick my personal favorite from this round of On9. The Valentina E. Hopeless Romantic Blouse wins the prize. My fabric of chioce? The roses version; but there are solids to be had if that's your mood.

Available in Maitreya, Slink Physique, small and medium -- a definite plus for a Fall wardrobe.
